Abstract: | Background Covered biliary metal stents have been introduced for the purpose of overcoming tumor ingrowth and treatment of benign biliary
stricture. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biodurability of three commercially available biliary metal stent covering
materials e-PTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene), silicone, and polyurethane] in a bile flow phantom. |
